Very effective and cool experience. Some very nice details too :)
Thanks man!
BIG GOOD FUN
Thank youuuu
so good! really cool to see an objective representation of the city i've lived in all my life but through the idiosyncratic gaze of r pope. i kept having the inclination to write something really problematic so i guess i learned something about myself and the impact of (political) space/place? also the power fantasy of graffitiing a mural is.. fuk idek i dont wanna think about it but there's a LOT to think about. brb gunna read some lefebvre. very well done, pope! u should be proud
thank you so much! i really appreciate the feedback and it is very validating haha, i too should read some lefebvre
Came back to add to my previous comment that this wee game really stuck with me and I found myself thinking about it a lot after. I'm not sure I can put my finger on it, but to me, the connotations of the name and description; the dimly lit, limited view; the freedom in the stillness and eerie quiet; and the confrontation moment with the mural all combine to create a contemplative/philosophical/art experience that really gives you something of this city. It's also edgy as fuck.
Thank youuuu I really appreciate the feedback! I am glad it landed like this honestly cuz those are mostly notes I was actively trying to hit! Apart from the edginess haha, that's just a happy accident. But cheers, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I really like this. It creates a quiet, brooding atmosphere in which you become very aware of yourself and your interaction with the (contentious) space.
